SAFETY
DANGER! Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN
BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE
WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
BLADES. (SGM-10)
WARNING!
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.
(SGM-11)
DANGER!
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions
of throwing objects for great distances (100 yards
or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow
safety messages carefully
-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed
and in good, workable condition;
-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the
ground without exposed Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could be struck by
the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected, closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at
desired final height. (This will also reduce power requiredto mow, reduce wear and tear on
the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut
more uniform.)
(SRM-1)
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
WARNING!
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for
any reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the
Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a
potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or
even death from objects thrown from the Blades. (SRM-7)
WARNING!
Never leave Tractor and Implemented unattended while the implement is in the lifted position.
Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with
injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor,
lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-
Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted
components. (S3PT-1)
WARNING!
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up
hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move
the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent
rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces
to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do
not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping
implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly
cause the operator or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
